Delterra in Indonesia
Delterra is an environmental nonprofit that turns global circular economy ambitions into local action. Founded by McKinsey & Company and established as a local Yayasan Foundation in Indonesia, we have a track record of transforming waste systems in the Global South.
Impact in Bali
Over the past seven years in Bali, Delterra has: worked with 30+ villages to transform their waste management and recycling, reaching up to 80% recycling participation; enabled the operation and scaling of one of Indonesia’s largest organic waste facilities (25-30 tons/day); developed trusted advisory relationships with key Bali stakeholders, including the provincial environmental taskforce, regency governments, the local-level environmental office/body (DLHK), and village and customary/religious leaders (Desa Adat); and partnered with academia, NGOs and other local organizations across the value chain.
Impact by the Numbers
At Delterra, we measure our progress and ambition against our core success metric: environmental impact. These numbers highlight our ability and ambition to deliver system-wide change on large-scale environmental problems while improving people’s lives.
